Stafford County, Va. – Two adults and two children became victims of a fire that broke out in their home in Stafford County this morning.
Fire and rescue crews were called at 11:50 a.m. to 10 Saint Marks Court in the Rockhill area of the county for a report of a fire. When they arrived, fire fighters charged their hoses and used an attack line to fight a blaze in the laundry room, said Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Mark Doyle.
Firefighters were able to douse the fire within two minutes or arriving on the scene.
The four occupants of the home were not injured and were not put into the care of the Red Cross, said Doyle.
Officials did not provide a property damage estimate following the fire.
